He goes, 'I know you're here. Would you like to maybe go for lunch and talk about Switzerland?' and I'm like, 'Can you?' Like it's so gracious," he expressed.

Noah shares a great relationship with the 41-year-old. Both were part of the '2020 Match for Africa' which was held in Cape Town. The Swiss paired up with Bill Gates for the exhibition match as they faced off against Noah and Rafael Nadal.
